Out of the door, the night wind wrapped in a chill came to his face, Chu Huai'an turned around and took the door of the side hall before following the palace maid towards the main hall, the shackles on his body had not been removed, and it was quiet in the night palace, and the sound of the shackles dragging on the ground became weird.

The palace maid who led the way was frightened, and walked faster and faster, and soon arrived at the main hall, the door of the palace was open, and the lights were bright inside, and Chu Huai'an saw the queen mother and the young son of heaven sitting there from a distance, a scene of filial piety and happiness between a mother and a son.

Inexplicably, Chu Huai'an thought of the pair of deerskin boots that the first emperor gave him at the beginning.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, the Hou Ye is here."

The palace maid replied softly, the queen mother and Chu Lingzhao, who had already heard the sound of shackles, looked at the door at the same time, Chu Lingzhao waved his hand to retreat from the palace maid, and the queen mother beckoned lovingly: "Why are you stunned there, come and sit, there is your favorite eight-treasure duck." ”

"It's coming!" Chu Huai'an should cut off his thoughts, his face was unruly and unruly, and when he got closer, the Queen Mother saw that he was still wearing shackles on his hands and feet, and immediately felt distressed: "Why are you still wearing this kind of thing?" How did Zhao Hanzhuo do things? ”

The Queen Mother said that she wanted to touch the shackles, but Chu Huai'an avoided it by kneeling, and arched her hand: "Xiaohou is still wearing a guilty body, and he should have stayed in prison, so he should wear this so as not to be truthful." ”

The first emperor favored him, and the queen mother also liked him for so many years, even if he entered the palace, he spoke very casually, and now these words show the meaning of alienation, the queen mother and Chu Lingzhao are both human spirits, how can you not hear the meaning of his words?

The two glanced at each other, and the Queen Mother stretched out her hand to help Chu Huai'an up, and persuaded softly: "The mourning family knows that you have been wronged in the past two days, how do you want to rely on you, you must not say such a life!" ”

The Queen Mother only has one child under her knees, Chu Lingzhao, because the first emperor favored Chu Huai'an, and raised him as half a son since he was a child, and at this age, he naturally didn't want to hurt his feelings with him.

After the death of the first emperor, many people in Beijing always found excuses to block Chu Huai'an, wanting to test the new emperor's tolerance for him, and the queen mother would most likely comfort him like this.

But this time, he was first framed and grabbed the prison of Dali Temple, and then poisoned and murdered, if it was Chu Huai'an who was poisoned, he lay on the bed and hummed two sentences to be an uncle for a few months, and his anger disappeared, but the life and death of the person lying on the bed were uncertain, it was the woman named Su Li.

The woman who dared to turn him down in public and run away for five years, and then ate him to death after coming back, is a woman who no one can bully except him!

Thinking of this, Chu Huai'an lowered his head to avoid the queen mother's gaze, and said solemnly: "Coveting harem concubines is a serious crime, and before the matter is investigated, the minister will definitely not dare to act arbitrarily!" ”

This is not to accept the reassurance of the Queen Mother's simple words, the Queen Mother also knew that this time the matter was very big, turned her head to look at Chu Lingzhao, the emperor who had been silent personally poured two glasses of wine, took one for himself, and handed the other cup to Chu Huai'an: "Outsiders are all cautious, but I know that you are a person, and you will definitely not be a young person who covets a wife." ”

Now that it is clear, why did you throw people into the prison without even interrogating them in person?

Chu Huai sneered with an anxin head, and he still had a smile on his face: "The human and material evidence is there, and the minister has not yet proved his innocence, I am afraid that he will not be able to bear the trust of the emperor's cousin!" ”

Chu Huai'an knelt and refused to get up, Chu Lingzhao pursed his lips, put down the wine glass, got up and walked around the table to personally help Chu Huai'an up: "I do have other plans, but it is a matter of confidentiality, I can't talk to you in detail, we have always been like brothers and sisters, don't you still believe in my character?" ”

Chu Lingzhao's words were sincere, this family card was played very loudly, but it couldn't cover Chu Huai'an's cold heart.

He glanced at the two glasses of wine on the table, and looked at Chu Lingzhao fixedly, with a glow shining in his dark eyes: "If the imperial cousin really treats each other with sincerity, please answer a question from the minister." ”

"What?"

"Who ordered the poison in the food?"

As soon as these words came out, the hall fell into a dead silence, the candles flickered, and even the brazier that burned red was infected with a chill.

Chu Lingzhao pursed his lips, his eyebrows frowned slightly, the dragon power of the Ninety-Five Venerable spread little by little, Chu Huai'an straightened his back with his neck, and looked at him without avoiding it, which was quite evenly matched.

After a long time, Chu Lingzhao raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows: "The person who poisoned is still investigating, but I guessed it." ”

guessed, one sentence is to admit his intention to send Su Li to prison, it is to relieve boredom or something, and it is true to test the poison for him.

"What if I'm poisoned too?"

Chu Huai'an couldn't help but ask, he has lived a drunken life and dream of death for half of his life, but he has never deeply experienced the unkind practice of the royal family, and everyone in the world says that he is favored by the saints, and he doesn't want this favor to be a chilling conspiracy behind it.

Chu Huai'an was looking forward to Chu Lingzhao saying something like 'I will definitely keep you safe', but he didn't expect to wait for a sentence: "The third lady of the Su family is smart and clever, and she will definitely not put her in danger." ”

“……”

Miss Su Jiasan is smart and clever, so she deserves to be poisoned and killed?

What kind of heresy is this!?

Chu Huai'an's head was as painful as someone had been splashed with a spoonful of boiling oil, and there was a popping and popping sound of frying, the Queen Mother saw that his face was wrong, and hurriedly came out to play a round, and glared at Chu Lingzhao with pretended anger: "How can the emperor speak?" The third lady of the Su family is the meat of Jinzhi's heart, if she has any mistakes, she will never be able to! ”

After speaking, he took Chu Huai'an's hand and patted it, and said with relief: "Now the imperial doctors of the entire Tai Hospital are waiting in this hall, and they will definitely not let her have anything happen, she will suffer for you this time It is also a great achievement, when this matter is over, the mourning family will definitely reward her well, didn't you want to carry her into the palace as a concubine five years ago?" Why don't you give her to you by decree from the mourning family......"

"Queen Mother!" Chu Huai'an interrupted, this kind of slapping a jujube is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire for him now.

Su Li had clearly explained before that the reason why she returned those dowries five years ago was because she didn't want to be a concubine, and now the Queen Mother has issued an order to make her a concubine.

His chest was burned by anger, but Chu Huai'an suppressed it and did not have a seizure, and said firmly: "Ah Li and I can be regarded as childhood sweethearts, I was reckless back then, I didn't take into account her feelings, and I should have been dismissed from the dowry, and now she has saved my life, if I accept her as a concubine again, wouldn't I be humiliating her?" ”

"How can it be considered a humiliation? You are a dignified marquis, she has lost her temper in the bandits' den five years ago, and I don't know what she has experienced in the past five years, does she still want to be your wife? ”

The Queen Mother's eyes widened in astonishment, and her words were full of disdain for Su Li, Chu Huai'an thought of the brand on Su Li's arm again, and her heart was like a knife, her head was hot, and she blurted out: "What the hell is going on with her, it's not the turn of others to put their beaks!" ”

He was so angry that his eyes were red, and the monstrous anger couldn't be suppressed, and burst out, which was very apt to prove the sentence: Chong Guan is angry and red!

Originally, after the Queen Mother was still a little worried about this matter, there would still be rumors that Chu Huai'an and Su Wanyue were not good, but now seeing Chu Huai'an defending Su Li like this, she was secretly relieved.

Today they didn't come to Chu Huai'an to quarrel with him, thinking of their purpose, the Queen Mother eased her face, decided to appease Chu Huai'an first, and continued with what he had just said: "The mourning family said the wrong thing in a hurry, the third lady of the Su family is all good-looking, if you really like it, the mourning family will not stop you, but your mother has high expectations for you, if you really want to marry her, just convince your mother, and Chu Lingzhao and I will also be happy to see it happen." ”

This is a nice thing to say, but he didn't mention the marriage again, knowing that with Chu Liu's temperament, he would definitely not let Chu Huai'an marry a woman whose reputation was ruined.

Chu Huai'an knew the Queen Mother's plans, but he didn't dwell on this matter, he had lived casually in the past five years, and he was indifferent to marrying a wife.

He pursed his lips and didn't speak, slowly calming down his emotions, and after a while, Chu Lingzhao handed him the glass of wine again: "The situation in the court is treacherous now, I am in his position, and there are many things that I can't help myself, only the brotherhood between Jin Zhi and me has lasted for a long time, and this glass of wine is my reparation to Jin Zhi!" ”

Chu Lingzhao said seriously, his eyes were also clear, Chu Huai'an took the wine but did not rush to drink, but thoughtfully played with the wine glass: "I am in the court and the middle of the office, there is no real thing, the emperor's cousin chose to put me in prison this time, I am afraid there is another deep meaning, right?" ”

There are many important ministers in the court, and anyone who is framed for having an affair with a concubine is a dead end, and there are a lot of punishments, since Chu Lingzhao has already noticed it, whoever is slapped in the face will be given a date in the face, and the harvest will be a loyal minister of the humerus, but why did he choose him?

Chu Huai'an has been addicted to wine all year round, Chu Lingzhao didn't expect him to think of this, surprise flashed in his eyes, but he smiled with satisfaction for a moment: "What I am responsible for is a false position, I have little contact with the ministers of the court, I am good at doing things, and I have the blessing of the imperial whip given by my father before his death, if there is divine help, it is very suitable." ”

"So what does Cousin Huang want me to do?"

Chu Huai'an went straight to the point, Chu Lingzhao's face was grim, he clinked glasses with Chu Huai'an, and said firmly: "I want you to disturb the waters of this dynasty in the name of being framed this time!" ”

……

When Su Li woke up, the shadow in front of her was red, like a blood-stained red flag swaying in the wind on the battlefield, filled with the smell of blood and desolate slaughter.

The throat was dry, I swallowed my saliva subconsciously, I tasted a piece of fishy sweetness, the tip of my tongue hurt, my vision became clear, the swaying flag turned into a very beautiful red gauze tent, and there was a person standing outside the tent, with a long body, wearing a silver and white brocade robe, staring at her with a bowl of medicine.

"Awake?"

Chu Huai'an sat down on the edge of the bed with the medicine, holding a spoon and gently stirring the black and slimy medicinal juice, Su Li thought of the torture of being poured medicine before, and hurriedly spoke: "Master Hou, I'll drink it myself." ”

Chu Huai'an glanced at her, didn't say anything, handed her the medicine bowl, and waited for Su Li to drink the medicine in one goo, and then silently took the bowl.

The fishy sweetness on the tip of the tongue was covered by bitterness, Su Li frowned, her cheeks were suddenly pinched, Chu Huaian pursed her lips, and her face was seriously stuffed into a candied fruit, and the sweet and sour taste spread instantly.

Looking for this person because someone was poisoned and angry, Su Li didn't dare to touch his brow at this time, chewed the candied fruit slowly, and looked at the surrounding environment quietly.

The bed is made of fine huanghuali, the workmanship of the gauze tent is also excellent cloud yarn, between the layers of clouds and mist, the house is lit with incense, burning charcoal fire, smokeless, is an excellent tribute charcoal, must be the palace has a head and face to have this use, but I don't know, this is the noble man's bedroom.

Just thinking about it, the door was pushed open with a 'squeak', and only a short and fat man walked in through the screen, and before he showed up, he had already spoken first: "Is that girl awake?" I've been asleep for almost five days, and if she doesn't wake up, the old man will suspect that she has been poisoned into a living dead! ”

When the words fell, Imperial Doctor Gao turned the screen with the medicine box on his back, followed by a medical woman with red lips and white teeth, seeing that Su Li was awake, he didn't care about saluting Chu Huai'an, and rushed forward with three steps and two steps with his little thick legs, grabbed Su Li's hand and carefully checked the pulse.

The medical woman who followed him wanted to salute, but Chu Huaian waved her hand directly.

Holding the pulse, Imperial Doctor Gao's brows were furrowed so that he could trap the flies, and he said for a long time: "This poison is solved, but the remaining poison has not been cleared, I see that the pulse of the third lady is hot and dry, and it seems to be depressed in the heart, in the long run, I am afraid that there will be some complications, and it needs to be carefully cooked!" ”

"Complications? What are the symptoms? ”

Su Li asked in a low voice, her stomach was still like a fire, and even her throat was dry, she didn't expect that she had been in a coma for five days, and her hands and feet were weak.

"Everyone is different, and the specific symptoms are different." Imperial Physician Gao withdrew his hand, took a small white porcelain bottle from the medicine box and handed it to Su Li, motioned for her to drink it, and continued: "As long as the third lady is willing to follow the doctor's instructions to take care of her body and clear the residual poison as soon as possible, this complication may not necessarily appear." ”

"Ah Li has always cherished her life, so she will naturally cooperate with Doctor Gao."

What Gao Dahai wanted was Su Li's words, and after listening to it, he immediately laughed, and tried to widen his eyes to explore the gossip: "Since the third lady is willing to cooperate, then tell the official first, why are you depressed in your heart!" ”

“……”

Is this little fat man the storyteller in the teahouse who changed careers? I love to hear the secrets so much!

Su Li slandered, but turned his head and saw that Chu Huaian was also looking at him directly, as if he had moved the small bench and was ready to eat melons.

“…… After being away from home for many years, it is inevitable to be wronged outside, and it is not a day or two of depression, so it should not affect the condition. ”

After saying this and not saying it, Imperial Doctor Gao's fat face wrinkled into a bun, and he had to ask again, but was interrupted impatiently by Chu Huai'an: "Aren't you going back to Xining Palace in a while?" Still not in a hurry to prescribe medication? ”

"Didn't you send someone to invite me in a hurry? You're going to drive me away before I even drink a sip of hot tea? Gao Dahai had the courage to collide, and Chu Huai'an flew over with a knife: "Ben Hou will let you go now, do you have any opinions?" ”

“……”

There are comments! But dare not say!

A fat man rolled his mung bean-sized white eyes, hummed and wrote down the prescription, and took the medicine girl away.

After the two left, the room fell silent again.

It stands to reason that Su Li's current identity is not qualified to enter the palace to be diagnosed and treated by the imperial doctor, even if she is poisoned for Chu Huai'an and enters the palace, she should be taken care of by the palace maid, how can there be a reason for the two of them to be alone in the same room and be taken care of by him personally?

"Can Master Hou find out who poisoned him?"

Su Li didn't have anything to say, and Chu Huai'an stuffed a candied fruit into her mouth again: "From the jailer to the cook, dozens of people have been arrested before and after, all of them are being tried in Dali Temple, and it is not difficult to find out the real culprit behind the scenes." ”

Seeing that he didn't seem to be interested in the person who poisoned him, Su Li nodded and didn't ask any more, probably because the residual poison was not cleared, his brain was dizzy, and he was about to lie down and continue to rest when he swallowed something in his mouth, his jaw was suddenly clamped, and the man's fingers slid in.

"Master Hou?"

Su Li was shocked, and her words were a little slurred, Chu Huai'an ignored her, hooking her tongue and turning it around, this action was very misleading, and Su Li's face burned.

Catching a glimpse of the blush on her face, Chu Huai'an raised his eyebrows: "You are really good at acting, biting your tongue in prison and pretending to vomit blood, and now pretending to be shy and innocent, is it really a pustule that you don't know anything?" ”

His tone was sneering, stabbing people all over the body, Su Li didn't know what he had misunderstood again, and lowered his eyes and was silent.

After checking enough, Chu Huaian withdrew his hand and took the silk handkerchief on the side and rubbed it carefully: "How do you know that the food is poisonous?" ”

"I didn't know that before." Su Li confessed, seeing Chu Huai'an's disbelief, she continued to explain: "The poison attacked very quickly, and my stomach began to hurt after a few bites, so I dared to speculate on the holy will and acted in this scene. ”

From the moment she saw Chu Lingzhao and Su Li outside Dali Temple, she sensed that something was wrong, but she was extremely tired, and she didn't figure out Chu Lingzhao's intentions for a while, and then her stomach hurt, and she realized that Chu Lingzhao was not bored to take a walk outside Dali Temple, nor did she really want her to relieve Chu Huai'an's boredom.

Now that the Su family is in full swing, someone wants to kill two birds with one stone with such a clumsy technique, Chu Lingzhao is not blind, and he can naturally see that he caught Chu Huai'an and those guards, maybe he wanted to lure the snake out of the hole, maybe he wanted to plan it.

Chu Lingzhao's plan may not have had Su Li, but she sent herself to him by mistake, so Chu Lingzhao sent her to prison and suffered this crime for Chu Huai'an.

After all, if Xiaoyao Hou died in prison so inexplicably, there would be criticism in the world, but if Su Li died in prison, it would just be an insignificant death.

"Acting?"

Chu Huai'an repeated, Su Li nodded, Chu Huai'an looked at her coldly, and his tone became solemn: "Do you know that the poison in that meal is a broken intestine grass?" That poison can kill people in half an hour, you can still endure the abdominal pain and eat so much, if you act more realistically, Ben Hou will be able to go to the west of the city to order a coffin for you! ”

Chu Huai'an asked sharply, his expression was fierce, but his eyes were flushed with a hint of red, and the hand hidden in his sleeve trembled uncontrollably.

It's just a little bit, if he is a quarter of an hour late, Su Li will probably have died in his arms!

Su Li was shaken by Chu Huai'an's roar, licked her lips and said, "If I really die unfortunate this time, Master Hou can remember the promise he gave me before and help me fulfill my last wish, and this death will not be a loss." ”

"Do what you want to do, Ben Hou doesn't remember what he promised you!"

Chu Huai'an said coldly, not waiting for Su Li to speak, and walked away.

When I went out, the cold wind was wrapped in snowflakes and rushed to my face, which was so cold that I couldn't extinguish the anger in my heart.

Previously, Chu Lingzhao also said that Su Li was very smart, but Chu Huai'an only felt that she was stupid to the extreme, how could a smart person take risks for a person who licked blood at the knife all day long? How can any smart person eat a meal without changing its color, knowing that it is highly poisonous?

"Master Hou!"

The eunuch's sharp voice interrupted Chu Huai'an's thoughts, and when he turned around, Zhang De, the chief administrator of the interior, stood respectfully with a whisk: "I just heard that Miss Su San has woken up, and Your Majesty has asked the Hou Ye to go to the side hall of Taichen Palace to discuss matters!" ”

"What?"

"Hou Ye will know when he goes." Zhang De kicked the ball back again, he was a person who had served the first emperor, his tone was strict and smooth, Chu Huai'an probably guessed what he was going to do, so he didn't ask any more, he was about to leave, and listened to Zhang De again: "Your Majesty's dictation, please go with Miss Su San." ”

"She just woke up for a moment and fell asleep again, if you have anything to say, ask Ben Hou is!"

Chu Huai'an had a cold face, his tone became tough, Zhang De knelt down and gave a big salute to Chu Huai'an: "Master Hou, please calm your anger, Your Majesty is sympathetic to Miss Su San's physical discomfort, and has sent a royal sedan chair to carry Miss Su over!" ”

That's the way to go!

Chu Huai'an clenched his fists, although there was anger in his heart, he didn't show it at all on his face, and only said in a deep voice: "No need, Ben Hou will take her over personally!" ”

After speaking, she turned around and returned to the room, Su Li was already asleep in a daze at this time, and when she noticed someone approaching, she shrank for a moment, Chu Huaian rubbed her head: "Don't be afraid, it's me." ”

"What's wrong?"

Su Li asked softly, she couldn't open her eyes, she only leaned softly in Chu Huai'an's arms, inexplicably like a child who depended on him.

"It's okay, let's sleep."

Chu Huai'an comforted, took the quilt and wrapped Su Li tightly, and then carried her out of the room.

The wind and snow were flourishing outside, and Zhang De had a good eye to let people come forward to hold an umbrella and block the two of them tightly.

Walking all the way to the side hall, as soon as I arrived at the door, I heard a soft cry: "Your Majesty, the third sister of the concubine has suffered a lot in the past five years, and now she has finally returned to Beijing, and she has been poisoned again, Your Majesty will definitely be the master of the concubine's sister!" ”

The voice was as clear and beautiful as in my memory, with a crying tone, which made people feel more and more pitiful and distressed.

I don't know if I was tired all the way with the person in my arms, or I was distracted by the shallow breathing of the person in my arms.

"It's here!"

Zhang Deli shouted loudly at the entrance of the hall, the crying in the hall stopped abruptly, and Chu Huaian stepped into the hall with Su Li in his arms.

The hall burned floor heating, even if the door of the palace was wide open, the room was also warm, the young emperor sat in the first place, the left and right sides were accompanied by beautiful women, and there was a group of beauties who were fat and thin below, it was obviously a cold winter, but it was like a hundred flowers in spring, and the air was filled with greasy rouge.

There is no screen screen tent in the hall, and when he walks in at first glance, it is like breaking into a silk hole, Chu Huai'an lowered his eyes, and did not look left and right, only hugged the person in his arms, and walked to the hall with firm steps.

"Brother courtier, meet Your Majesty!"

"Excuse me, give me a seat!"

Before he knelt down completely, Chu Lingzhao was exempted from the courtesy, and the palace people also poured in, and they actually carried a beauty couch in.

In front of the Son of Heaven, it was already Long En who could be given a seat, let alone lying in front of Chu Lingzhao?

If this thing falls on the heads of others, I am afraid that I will be flattered, and I kneel down three times and nine times to thank Longen, but Chu Huai'an didn't say thank you, he didn't even raise his eyelids, and sat on the couch with Su Li in his arms, which was of course to the extreme.

"I just heard from Imperial Doctor Gao that Ah Li woke up, is she okay now?"

Chu Lingzhao didn't get straight to the point, he cared for him politely, Chu Huai'an helped Su Li tighten the quilt tightly, and pulled away a strand of scattered broken hair: "The residual poison has not been cleared, and it is not out of danger yet!" ”

The soft hair hung obediently around the fingertips, and Chu Huai'an twisted his fingers, reminiscing about the touch below.

"I was originally grateful to Ah Li for falling in love with Jinzhi, and I couldn't bear her to worry and be afraid, so I specially allowed her to go to prison to accompany you to relieve her boredom, but I didn't want to cause her to suffer this big crime, but if it weren't for her, this poisoned person would be cautious!"

Chu Lingzhao said with half explanation and half emotion, speaking of the back, his tone was already a little serious, the atmosphere in the hall was stagnant, and the beauties of the harem, who had been noisy together in the past, all lowered their heads and did not say a word.

"The old lady of Shangshu Mansion has a big birthday, and the concubine is ordered to save her relatives, which is a happy event celebrated by the whole world, but someone framed the concubine of Xiaoyao Marquis, and then even bribed the jailer, trying to murder the royal blood relatives, and his crime should be punished!"

Chu Lingzhao was furious, his sharp eyes swept over the concubines, and the beauties present immediately knelt down in fright, and even the two who were serving on the left and right of the lord also knelt at his feet, trembling and begging for mercy: "Your Majesty is angry, please Your Majesty is angry!" ”

The beautiful woman's soft voice is in her ears, even if she is an iron-blooded and ruthless person, she will soften her ears, and Xiaoyaohou, who has always been pitiful and cherished jade, spoke in a timely manner: "What the emperor's cousin said is slanderous, and the real murderer must have been found, you might as well let Xiaohou listen, which one of them ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and dared to murder the master!" ”

Chu Huai'an's words were said lightly, like snowflakes swept into the house by the wind, and before they landed, they were baked into mist by the heating in the house.

"Don't be in a hurry, I invite you here today to seek justice for you!"

Chu Lingzhao said and glanced at Zhang De, who was standing at the door, Zhang De waved the dust, and then dragged two bloody people in.

These two people were tortured, and they were all wrong, the concubine who had never seen such a bloody picture screamed in fright, her originally soft voice was split one by one, and it was so piercing that Chu Huai'an frowned, and when she turned her head, she saw that Su Li was frowning and wanted to wake up, and subconsciously reached out to cover her eyes.

"Master Hou?"

It was pitch black in front of her, Su Li whispered uncertainly, her mind was muddy, and she didn't know where she was, the hand covering her eyelids didn't let go, she only responded in a low voice: "It's okay, sleep." ”

“……”

There are screams in my ears one after another, who can sleep listening to this?

Su Li slandered, but because of his weak body, he didn't push Chu Huai'an's hand away, but in the darkness he heard the emperor's majestic voice: "The prison food in Dali Temple has always been supplied by the restaurant in the city called Laoyue Pavilion, these two are the cooks and men in charge of the meal today, and the food came out of their hands, and it was brought back to the prison by the jailer of Dali Temple, and these two people have confessed and poisoned the food!" ”

"Grass...... The grass people deserve death for their crimes, beg for ...... Ask the Hou Ye to give me a good time! ”

The eyes were blocked, and when the man begged for mercy, the hoarse and desperate voice was inserted into Su Li's ears inch by inch like a blunt knife, and a bloody picture was sketched in her mind.

There are a lot of tortures handed down since ancient times, and when you enter the Dali Temple, you are torn off a layer of skin, and the people in the temple also have a way to protect people from death.

The only thing left to live is darkness and endless torment, which is the most terrifying.

Su Li shuddered, thinking of her purpose of returning to Beijing, if she failed to find out the person who embezzled military salaries, she would be exposed first, and she only hoped that she could suffer less pain, and she would not live in extreme pain like this person today.

Sensing her abnormality, Chu Huai'an let go of his hand and leaned over to look at her with concern: "But what's the discomfort?" ”

"Nope." Su Li shook her head, and Yu Guang unexpectedly saw the two unrecognizable bloody people in the hall, and a group of frightened concubines.

Looking up further, two shadows, one red and one blue, came into view.

Both of them knelt on the ground, but the heavy winter clothes could not hide their luxurious temperament and bewitching posture.

The two of them are similar in shape and wear similar jewelry, but from such a distance, Su Li recognized at a glance that the one wearing the indigo palace costume was her eldest sister Su Bangyue, who had been calling for fifteen years.

Many years ago, that person promised to be the eldest sister one day and protect the sister for the rest of his life with a soft and immature child's voice.

A few years later, that person was in a high position, and he was blessed with thousands of favors, and his former promises were scattered in the wind, and there were many unjust souls under the skin of the beauty......

Su Li watched quietly, and before she knew what had happened, a beautiful woman in a pink palace dress crawled out tremblingly.

She was born beautiful, her skin was better than snow, her cheeks were a little baby fat, very cute, but at the moment her face was bloodless, her whole person trembled like chaff, and she kept kowtowing: "Your Majesty, it's all ...... It's all concubines who are confused! Concubine Su Guifei recently won the dragon heir, and she won the favor of His Majesty, and the concubine was jealous, so she ...... came up with this poisonous plan, wanting to murder the concubine Niangniang and Xiaoyaohou, begging for ...... I beg your majesty to spare your life! ”

The beauty was so frightened that she was about to lose her soul, and her words were intermittent and her words were indistinct, but at this time, she couldn't see that she had the courage to murder the concubine and the Marquis of Xiaoyao.

Su Li tilted her head, only to see that the beauty was so frightened that she was crying, she spent her makeup, and lost her pitiful beauty, and the emperor who had been tender and sweet in the bed looked at it coldly, like an iceberg: "Li Meiren? Do you know what the crime of murdering the concubine and the royal blood relatives should be? Now that you have jumped out and confessed your guilt, this guilt, let alone you, even if you are all over the house, you can't afford it! ”

"It's all done by the concubine alone, the concubine is willing to be punished, and beg Your Majesty to let go of the concubine's family!"

Li Meiren knew that she was a dead end, but she didn't want to implicate her family, her head was pounding, and within a moment, there was a blur of flesh and blood on her head.

The concubine who usually likes to fight for the wind and be jealous has seen this battle, and several of them fainted with fright, Chu Huai'an saw that Su Li saw it with relish, so he simply put her head on his lap and adjusted the best viewing position for her.

The posture of the two was incompatible with the bloody and cold slaughter in the palace, as if they were not here to hear the trial, but to eat a small snack and listen to music and watch a play in the courtyard of the Xiaoyao Marquis' Mansion.

Su Li was a little embarrassed, and wanted to get up and be held down by Chu Huai'an with one hand, and at the same time heard him say lazily: "Oh? You're all alone? That made Ben Hou Chang see, the concubine Niangniang was personally escorted by the Guogong that day, you are just a little beauty, is it possible that you have the art of avatar and incarnation, can you turn out of this palace compound and steal the personal belongings of the concubine Niangniang and stuff them into Ben Hou's arms? ”

Chu Huai'an's tone was gentle, revealing a lazy look, but the rules were clear and the reasoning was strict, the beauty had long been scared of the six gods, and when Chu Huai'an asked at this time, he was stupidly stunned and didn't know how to answer.

"This ...... This ......"

Li Meiren was hesitant, and she couldn't say why for a long time, Chu Huai'an wanted to say something more, but I don't know who suddenly coughed lightly.

This sound was not loud, but it was extremely abrupt, triggering a certain mechanism on Li Meiren's body, her eyes with tears turned around, and she became resolute and firm, Su Li secretly screamed that it was not good, and Li Meiren rushed towards the main seat like a fluttering butterfly.

"Su Bangyue, go die!"

Li Meiren shouted loudly, Su Bangyue threw herself into Chu Lingzhao's arms with an exclamation, and the other palace people shouted in unison to escort the car, and at a distance of ten steps from Su Bangyue, Li Meiren was rushed by the guard with a sword piercing through his chest, and when the sword was drawn, blood splashed all over the ground.

The smell of blood spread, and the guards dragged Li Meiren and the two bloody people out of the hall very quickly, and the palace people rushed up and knelt down to wipe the floor clean, and within a quarter of an hour, the hall was clean and tidy again.

The timid concubines were so frightened that they vomited, and the more daring ones were so frightened that they collapsed on the ground and couldn't get up, Chu Huai'an kept looking down at Su Li, and saw that she had been calm and indifferent, and she was inexplicably a little proud, and his Ah Li was really different from the woman next to her.

Su Li didn't know Chu Huai'an's mental activities, her attention was all on Su Bangyue, the man trembled and got into the arms of the Son of Heaven, making the Son of Heaven's dragon robe wrinkled, and tears soaked the Son of Heaven's clothes, but the man above the 10,000 people didn't care, just kept comforting her with a pleasant face, which shows how much favor he has received.

Su Li knew that she had always been scheming, and even if she entered the palace, she would not suffer, but she didn't expect that even the most affectionate emperor would be eaten to death by her.

If we really want to investigate what happened five years ago, I am afraid that it will be a little more difficult than the case of embezzlement of military salaries.

Besides, the corruption of military salaries still depends on Chu Huai'an's help, and if Su Li wants to move his heart, he is afraid that he will be thrown into Dali Temple by this person himself.

Thinking of this, Su Li retracted her gaze, lowered her eyes and pretended to close her eyes.

She couldn't move Su Bangyue, but she had to settle the accounts with others.

Li Meiren was stabbed to death on the spot soon spread throughout the palace, her father is the magistrate of Lizhou, thousands of miles away from Kyoto, I don't know yet, Jing Zhaoyin has allocated a team of people to go to the house, and her brother is just elected this year's martial champion, originally a few days later to be the imperial guard with a knife, overnight was tied into the Dali Temple prison, just waiting for the family to arrive at the entrance of the vegetable market to ask for beheading.

Seeing that it was the end of the year, there was such a thing at this time, everyone in the palace was already in danger, but when it came to Su Li, it was a quiet time.

Su Li thought that she should leave the palace after the interrogation that day, but she didn't expect that Chu Huai'an had no intention of leaving the palace at all, but just asked people to leave the palace to report the safety of Chu Liu's family, so she lived in the palace with peace of mind, and looked like she was going to live in the palace for a long time!

"Master Hou, I'm almost fine, if I don't go back to the house, I'm afraid Madam will be in a hurry."

"Master eats and drinks well in this palace, what's there to worry about?" Chu Huai'an hugged Su Li and lay on her side on the beauty couch, and fed Su Li a dried plum with her hand, and pinched her waist with the other hand restlessly: "Why haven't you gained weight at all?" It's not comfortable to the touch at all! ”

“……”

Did anyone let you touch it?

Su Li slandered, pursed her lips and stared at Chu Huai'an faintly, until he spread his hands and sat to the side before stopping.

It has been a whole month since Su Li returned to Beijing after the New Year, but there has been no progress in the case of military salary corruption, Su Li is naturally anxious in her heart, this is the palace, there are many eyes and ears, she can't talk to Chu Huai'an in detail, she can only hint vaguely: "Master Hou, my time is running out, please don't forget ...... Master Hou"

"I can't forget it!" Chu Huai'an stood up and stretched, tilted his head and squinted at her: "You have tested poison for your master and made your master owe you a life, how can you forget such a great kindness?" ”

“……”

When she was poisoned, Su Li didn't think about blackmailing her in retribution, but since Chu Huai'an already thought of her like this, she didn't open her mouth to explain.

If this life can add a little bit of leverage to her, it's okay to be misunderstood, anyway...... She had long since broken off her thoughts about him.

Seeing that Su Li didn't say anything, the smile on Chu Huai'an's face faded, and he squinted his eyes and said, "I have my own measure in doing things, you take care of yourself and don't drag me back!" ”

"Yes!"

Su Li agreed, and calmed down to recuperate her body.

Two days later, while Chu Huai'an went to the Imperial Garden to play with Chu Lingzhao, the Queen Mother asked Su Li to send new clothes, the clothes were cut in the best Shu brocade, the blue color was elegant and playful, Xu was considering Su Li's age, there was no complicated embroidery on the clothes, only a circle of red fluff on the cuffs and neckline to add festivity.

"The Queen Mother said that the girl's skin is white and tender, this dress is lined with skin color, and the style is novel, and the girl is very good to wear." The palace maid who gave the clothes praised, Su Li's eyes were shining and she looked at the clothes, she didn't like it much, but she catered to her: "The queen mother has a good eye, Ah Li is really flattered." After speaking, he took two gold leaves from his bosom and gave them to the palace maid.

This reward is not much in the palace, but it can be regarded as reasonable, the palace maid smiled on her face, put away the gold leaf and said: "The queen mother is taking a lunch break at this time, the girl has changed her clothes, and she will wait for half an hour or so to thank you." ”

"Thanks for mentioning it!"

Su Li thanked her, and when the palace maid turned around and left, Su Li immediately changed her clothes, and took gold leaves to the palace maid on duty, and asked for some rouge gouache. The poison on her body has not been completely cleared, and her lips are quite pale, so it is disgusting to go to the Queen Mother in such a haggard way.

There was no special makeup box in the house, Su Li could only simply put on makeup on the basin, and put a little blush on her cheeks, and her sick appearance for a few days was instantly covered, and she dotted two points of rouge on her lips, and gently smudged it with her fingers, the whole person became bright and brisk, and Su Li blinked with satisfaction.

Although it was still early, Su Li tied her hair with a strip of cloth and went to wait outside the Queen Mother's bedroom.

She has never had close contact with the Queen Mother, and she has ruined her reputation before, and now even if she has made a contribution, she still needs to deal with it carefully.
